It seems like you may have an error in your SQL statement. I believe the proper syntax is either:
INSERT INTO table VALUES (value1, value2, ...)
if you want to list the values in order, or:
INSERT INTO table SET column1=value1, column2=value2, ...
if you want to specify the columns individually.

General suggestions for debugging DB code: print your SQL statement so you can visually verify it; include $DBI::errstr in your "or die"; tweak your SQL statements at the DB console until they behave the way you suggest.

Good luck.

Update: As VSarkiss points out below, listing the column names explicitly is always a good idea. Using SET in INSERT may be behavior that's specific to MySQL, so the general-purpose format that rdfield spells out is probably a better choice.
